Long time no see, my friend!
After the Canon contest was cancelled, I had a mental breakdown and took some time off.
However, I have recently started to touch Piece a little again, and I have built a new Ver. Bu for my collection!
OK today’s MOC is …
"My time is coming. I was made for war." - Tobduk
【Tobduk (ver.Bu)】
【Data】
kanohi : Great Sanok
Tool : Staff, Daggers
Power : Anger absorption
Note : Senior member of Order of Mata Nui
【Concept】
The original MOC is great, but I thought I could fix his heel “bounce” and improve his hip and ankle mobility.
And I built the new structure that for making better his movability.
Off course, it can hold his daggers, and the holder can be moved and doesn’t conflict witjh his articulation.
AND… yeah, I know what you want to say.
But don’t worry.
Please look closely his leg, and the dark-red leg piece.
Actually, I didn’t “CUT” its ball joint.
In origin, this piece was Perditus’ leg, and it’s known to easy to break in naturally.
Of course I lamented at first, but when I decided to build Tobduk, I realized the possibility of using this broken piece as armor of similar design to his original design.
In fact, it would not interfere with the mobility of his ankles, yet still retain the impression of the original.
If BIONICLE piece has broke and you didn’t trash it, it become into GREATLY and RAREST piece, and it will save your BIONICLE-life!
"When my new friends took me in, they named me ‘Tobduk,’ which I hear means ‘survivor.’ Their idea of a joke, I guess. Cause, you see, I didn’t survive. I don’t even know who I used to be. I’m not who I was … and I’m not what the Order wanted to make me. I am no one."

Thank you!
